Some people called for the bout to be scrapped, but one of Tyson’s most famous adversaries is looking forward to watching his old rival lace up the gloves again.
“Absolutely, it’s going to be a great fight,” Lewis said in an interview with TMZ Sports when asked if he’s looking forward to watching Paul vs Tyson.
There was mass speculation about the rules for Tyson’s return to the ring before it was recently confirmed that his clash with Paul will be an exhibition.
“This is called an exhibition, but if you look up exhibition, you won’t see any of the laws we’re fighting under,” ‘Iron Mike’ told Fox News.

“This is a fight. I don’t think he’s faster than me. I’ve seen a YouTube video of him at 16 doing weird dancing.
